Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
An intimate, small-scale movie in the nicest sense. Read full review

VarietyLisa Nesselson
Boasts engaging characters, inventive situations and a series of satisfying punchlines that will send viewers out with a smile. Read full review

Village VoiceLeslie Camhi
In his film's better moments, Kollek makes us laugh at these visions while also revealing their grace and frailty. Read full review

Boston GlobeJay Carr
A warmhearted, hardworking little comedy that owes a lot of its charm to its modesty.

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
As usual, Thomson steers right into the heart of vulnerability, with a painfully true performance as a guarded, confused soul.
60
New Times (L.A.)Luke Y. Thompson
One of those genially paced, character-driven indies, and succeeds as such very well.
50
New York PostJonathan Foreman
Despite a script that occasionally calls for some embarrassingly awkward lines, Kollek's cast generally acquits itself well. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyErnest Hardy
The film's power lies in the fact that the façade is crumbling on the actress even as she clings to it. That this is not a pathetic sight is due to the grit that we glimpse through the cracks. It's Barbie, becoming human. Read full review

Washington PostCurt Fields
Tries hard to be charming but succeeds only occasionally. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
There's nothing wrong with Fast Food Fast Women that a casting director and a rewrite couldn't have fixed. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMark Caro
Kollek's fondness for whimsical plot turns adds still more random elements to a movie that at times seems edited by a blindfolded monkey.

Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea
Painfully cute drama. Read full review

Portland OregonianStaff (Not credited)
Dreary and dull. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarrit Ingman
It's not wrong to wish these actors were working in the service of a better script or more assured direction, but it's probably also possible to simply take pleasure in their performances. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
Yet another of Israeli-born filmmaker Amos Kolleck's pointless, meandering tales of eccentric New Yorkers navigating the treacherous waters of love and survival. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam Arnold
Overly familiar, poorly cast and often annoyingly crude New York comedy that never finds its groove. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
Kollek is a fringe auteur who makes independent films the old fashioned way: no budget, static camera, a script that telegraphs its tiny, paste gem ironies. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
Has a vacant, inept, why-oh-why feeling from its opening minutes and only gets worse. Read full review

Washington PostRita Kempley
Fast Food Fast Women is "Sex and the City" in Payless shoes. An incoherent jumble of characters and situations. Read full review

The New York TimesA.O. Scott
Almost creates a sense of dread as you sit watching its raft of aimless, self-absorbed neurotics clang into one another. Read full review
